Flipped classroom.

What is it? How can your class realize this? Several units to be discussed showing ways to implement this concept at any level & possible technologies. Flipped art lessons expand learning beyond your classroom allowing more time with students & enrichment.

A basic definition of flipped classrooms is that students learn concepts at night and do "homework" at school. Students advance at their own speed and get help before they fall behind. Teachers can then aid the strugglers.

In the art room, students are usually already working on projects and "homework" in the classroom. I use this model to gain class time for more work time and less demonstration. When students can access demonstrations and teaching as they need it, then the instruction is relevant and students retain and apply the knowledge as it pertains to their artwork.

A common mistake of first-time flippers is believing that technology is a silver bullet. The goal is not to bend education to the digital propensity of students, but to maximize student--teacher interaction. It is about using your class time better, not how you use technology. Flipping your classroom means that you will be rethinking how we teach based on how kids learn.
